you.
The new CD
is in

Home and
recovering
from the
tour.
We took a
couple of
days off,
then
gathered at
NRS Studio
in Catskill,
NY to
record.
This will be
Levin
Brothers'
first studio
recording
since our
debut 2014
CD release.
We recorded
pretty much
everything
we'd been
playing live
on the tour,
plus a few
others.
Now into
post-production.
Likely this
will be
released in
August, in
time for our
planned
September
tour.

It was a
year ago
June that we
were
celebrating
coming out
of the
F$&#@%
pandemic by
getting back
out on the
road.
The
Vaccinating
Rhythm Tour
was short,
but very
successful -
we had a
great time.
(Photos and
stuff just
below.)
So here we
are again -
June is
busting out
all over,
and we're
giving it
another go.
Since 2014,
the core
group has
always been
the trio
Tony, Pete,
and Jeff
"Siege"
Siegel.
This year
we'll be
having a
special
guest for
each tour.
In June
we'll be
joined by
the
phenomenal
jazz
flutist,
Ali Ryerson.
Internationally
known and
consistently
placing on
the Downbeat
Readers'
Poll for
years, Ali
has released
several solo
albums and
has
performed
with a long
list of jazz
greats,
including
Kenny
Barron, Joe
Beck, Mike
Mainieri,
Wynton
Marsalis,
the Jazz At
Lincoln
Center
Orchestra,
and Luciano
Pavarotti.
We're really
looking
forward to
this one!
Meanwhile,
we're
building
tours for
this
September
through the
Northeast
and Central
U.S., and
the Far East
in January.
And we're
planning to
record a new
studio album
with Ali
Ryerson
right after
the June
tour.
Stay tuned .
. .
Hope to see
you at one
of these.

June 2021 News - The
Vaccinating Rhythm
Tour
It's a wrap!
Our comeback from the
pandemic: Eight gigs
this month, The "Vaccinating
Rhythm Tour 2021."
We Brought along a new CD, recorded
in
January 2020 at the
last gig we did
before Covid
restrictions shut
the music industry
down, as well as a
spiffy tour t-shirt! We
revisited some
of our favorite venues,
some where we did
shows in 2019 and
2020. Not
exactly a world
tour - (more like a
taking turns driving
the van tour) - but we
were
really happy to be
getting back out on
the road.
Like all musicians,
we've been really
missing the
experience of playing
live. Many of
the venues were
still restricted to
limited seating, so
all the shows sold out
quickly.
Our sincere thanks
to all the folks who
came out and to the
venues and crews
that hosted us.
It was great!
Tony will be touring
with King Crimson
for most of 2021, so
the Levin Brothers
Band is likely on
hiatus until 2022.
Lots of irons in
that fire -
Northeast U.S., Far
East, South America,
Europe. Stay

January 2020: The Snowtire Tour
The Snowtire Tour
wrapped up on the
26th. It was
eventful and tiring,
but the music was
great, the venues
were great, the
audiences were
great, and the food
was great. We
saw many old friends
and met many new
ones. Our
thanks to all the
venues and
promoters, and
especially to all
the folks who came
out to hear us.
There were many full
houses, some of them
sold out. No
words to express how
gratifying that is.
The final show at
Daryl's House was
recorded.
We're exploring
turning that into a
live album and
video. Stay
tuned ...

Meet our friend,
guitarist Jeff
Ciampa, who'll be
joining us on the
upcoming tour.
A veteran NYC studio
musician, Jeff's
extensive jazz
credits include
stints with Ornette
Coleman, Dave
Matthews, Harry
Belafonte, Bill
Evans and Mark Egan.
We'll officially
initiate him as a
'Levin Brother From
Another Mother' at
Zaftig Deli in
Natick, Mass.
(potato latkes to
die, the best bagels
outside of
Brooklyn!) Of
course the problem
is that there are
now 2 Jeffs in the
band. This
could get confusing!
January 2019 News
Tony and Pete are
finally bringing the
Levin Brothers Band to
the West Coast.
Along with our
long-time drummer
(Levin Brother from
another mother) Jeff
"Siege" Siegel, we'll
be headed west in
January, playing
from northern
California down to
Mexico. On 4
of the dates, we're co-billed with
the legendary British band,
Soft Machine.
Then, back home in March,
we'll be doing a few
shows in the
Northeast. For
those, we'll be
joined our friend,
master guitarist
David Spinozza.
(There's a short bio
below in "The
Band" section.)
David played on the
original 2014 "Levin
Brothers"
album but has yet to
do any of our live
gigs. We're
really looking
forward to that -
and of course,
looking forward to
meeting up with many
friends along the
way.

The Levin Brothers Band has just completed 2
tours this month, a leg going from
Pennsylvania to our home turf in Woodstock,
NY, and a week in Japan, our first time
there as a band. Tour photos below.
During our Spring
2017 tour, we
recorded 3 of our
shows, which will
became a Levin
Brothers' live

LIVE: The Levin
Brothers @ the Van Dyck, 3/31/17
Nippertown ~ Albany, NY
April 5th, 2017 By Ed Conway
Sublime – if I had to
describe the evening in one word that would
be it. Brothers Pete and Tony Levin, each
have a storied musical history. While you
may not be familiar with their names, if you
have listened to music, you have heard them
play. Pete has worked with such diverse
artists as Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Annie
Lennox, Paul Simon and Salt ‘N Pepa, the
full list is far too long to include here.
Tony is best known for his work with Peter
Gabriel, King Crimson and his own band The
Stickmen ....
4/4/17 Great night in New
York City at Iridium Jazz Club,
the final night of a 7-city
swing through the Northeast
U.S., concluding our Spring 2017
tour. Our thanks to all
the enthusiastic folks who came
to the shows. We're
working on possible dates in
December in the NY Metropolitan
area, and in January 2018, the
West Coast and Japan - and the
release of a double live CD
later this year. All
tentative at this point, but
we're workin' on it. Stay
tuned ....
3/25/17
Final South America concert last
night in San Salvador.
Tomorrow, a red-eye flight back
to Newark, NJ and home. 2
days off and we start a 7-gig
run in the Northeast, beginning
in Pawling, New York at Daryl's
House Club. The full
schedule is just below this
blog, with links (in blue) to
the venues' websites.
We'll be recording in Natick, MA
and Rochester, NY for a live
album to be released later this
year. They're all terrific
venues that we played on the
2015 Levin Brothers Band tour.
Hope to see many of you there at
these gigs.
3/22/17 Two airplanes and
a hell of a lot of paperwork and
we've arrived in San Salvador,
El Salvador. We've got a
day off here, mostly set aside for
PR interviews. Concert
Friday night; then on Saturday
we fly to Newark and home. A
couple of days to get our heads
screwed on, and we're off on a
7-concert swing through the
Northeast. Check the
itinerary just above; the blue
text has links to the clubs'
websites.
3/21/17 Concert tonight in
Le Paz, Bolivia. We
arrived in this beautiful city
last night, and were blown away
by the spectacular views of the
millions of lights on the
surrounding hills and
temperatures in the mid-'60s.
The only down side here is the
altitude - 12,000 feet above sea
level! For us gringos,
it's an effort just walking
slowly up a small incline.
What's that like performing?
I guess will find out.
Tomorrow we fly to El Salvador
for a concert, and then back
home for a couple of days rest
before our Northeast U.S. gigs.
3/19/17 Finished in Buenos
Aires last night, the last of
several sold-out shows in some
beautiful old theaters around
the country. Did press
conferences, a live radio show
with Astor Piazzolla's grandson,
and ate lots of great food.
Today, in search of local Tango
music and dancing.
Tomorrow, we head for Bolivia.
Hate to say it to our New York
friends and neighbors, but the
weather here has been beautiful.
Sorry guys!
3/14/17 It's a van tour
now, with Leonardo, our agent,
and Max, our irrepressible road
manager. All over
Argentina. The weather is
beautiful, in contrast to the
news we're getting from home - 3
feet of snow in Woodstock so
far! Yikes!
3/8/17 We're camped out in
Santiago, Chile. Beautiful
weather, beautiful city and
people. We're rehearsing
tomorrow at the ProJazz School.
Then on Saturday, we fly to
Montevideo and the tour starts
back up for real. Photos
on the
2017 TOUR PAGE
when we've got 'em.
3/4/17 The 2017 tour has
begun! We started
with a gig in our own Woodstock,
New York back yard, playing to a
packed house in an intimate
local venue. It served as
a warm-up before heading for
South America. Some photos
on the
2017 TOUR PAGE
and more as we travel.

Wolfgang Giese's
review for RockTimes
10/14/14
"...
This is pure jazz,
inspired by the
music that the
brothers
heard in the fifties
and came to love."
The Daily Vault
review 10/7/14
" ...
there is a
remarkable purity
and innocence to
this music. THE
LEVIN BROTHERS
manages to be both
serious and playful
without ever losing
the passion and edge
that comes from
pairing two masters
of their instruments
playing a style of
music they both
love. A terrific
album not just for
fans of classic
jazz, but for fans
of music, period."
Jazz Times review
10/5/14
"...
a player from the
Jazz league has
teamed up with one
from the Progressive
league and they both
show just how they
can swing. 'Cool'
doesn’t come close
to fully describing
this album."
"We grew up in Brookline,
Massachusetts, a
suburb of Boston, where we were
trained in Classical music from
a young age. But we also loved
the 1950's recordings by jazz
bassist Oscar Pettiford and jazz
French horn player Julius
Watkins; and those have remained
influential, even as we went on
to other playing. The catchy
melodies, deep grooves, and
tight solos made that music
memorable, and it's been
percolating for years for us to
do an album of our own in that
style.
"The two of us have crossed musical paths many times
over the last decades, having
toured together with Paul Simon, and
played in each others groups and
albums; but we've never done a
Levin Brothers album 'til now,
and it's pretty special for us.
"After writing material for it over the last few years,
we invited outstanding players
familiar with the musical
territory to join in - guitarist
David Spinozza, sax player
Erik
Lawrence and drummer Jeff
Siegel.Steve Gadd appears as a
special guest on the album,
playing drums on two songs,
"Bassics"and
"Fishy Takes A Walk." (* Tony and Steve's
history dates back to their days
in school together, followed by
a lot of albums and tours.)
"The sessions took place at Scott Petito's NRS Studio,
in the Woodstock area where we
live. The material is all our
own, all new compositions except
the
lovely King Crimson song,
"Matte Kudasai." Because we kept the
songs short, there was room for
a lot of material on this
release; the CD has 14 tracks
plus 2 exclusive bonus tracks.
"Another long time wish that's come true with this
release - a vinyl LP version of
the music. We're told that
'Vinyl is coming back' and we're
ready for that. In pre-orders, we're
offering a special limited
edition LP (1,000) with
unique colored vinyl, each
signed and numbered by us. The
LP has 12 tracks, with a card enclosed to digitally download
the CD's 14
tracks. We'll also be
autographing the first 1,000
CD's ordered.

"This
album's about a few things. It's
a long overdue 'first record' by
two brothers who've been making
records individually for ...
well, a lot of years! And it's a
return home, for me and Pete, to
the music we first shared as
kids - the 'cool jazz' of the
50's. So it's been a labor of
love to write pieces in that
style, woodshed my cello
playing, so as to use it as a
lead instrument, and put
together a record with melody
based songs, short solos, and,
hopefully, the chemistry of
musicians who play like ... like
brothers!
"You'll see us in suits in the session photos - that
was an effort to help be
immersed in the genre of the
music. Back in the 50's, I guess
everyone put on a suit and tie
to go to work, even jazz
players. It took awhile to get
used to, but was actually kind
of fun. Old school!
"We think this album will appeal to anyone who likes
instrumental music, and it's a
special treat to be able to
offer it in vinyl (with digital
download card, of course) as
well as CD."
"Jazz musicians share a common
trait; we're
standing on the shoulders of a
long succession of players,
going all the way back to Louis Armstrong.
Their spirit is alive in the fabric of
everything that we play. It's
only natural that, periodically,
we want to revisit our roots.
"Last year, Tony called me to say he was getting into
jazz cello and did I
have time to get together and play. His idea was to
revisit music we
listened to as kids, soulful
jazz with melodies we could
still scat after 50
years. We wrote some tunes,
jammed, wrote some more, and talked
about doing local trio gigs. It
was a natural progression to ...
hey wait, let's record this!
"Style-wise, Tony and I have had divergent careers, although our
musical paths have crossed many
times, backing other artists and
playing in each other's bands.
But this is our first time developing a project
together. With our common roots,
similar music training and
decades of recording experience, getting our minds in
sync with the concept and the
plan was easy. In the Woodstock,
NY community where we live, we're surrounded
by great recording studios and great
musicians. Now, with the
enthusiastic support of an indie label,
we're rockin'! (Well,
swinging actually.)"
The Levin Brothers
debut album was
recorded at NRS
Studio in Catskill,
New York, just
outside of
Woodstock, NY. The
studio is owned by former Fugs
bassist and
guitarist, Scott
Petito, himself a
highly skilled
musician and
award-winning
recording engineer.
Scott recorded and
mixed the album
during the winter
and spring of
2014. In June, Tony and Pete
brought the project
to Silvertone
Mastering
in Saratoga Springs,
NY where the
award-winning mastering engineer Larry
DeVivo applied the
finishing touches.
